Aerosol generation device providing customized smoking experience and aerosol-generating article applied thereto

Abstract

An aerosol generation device providing a customized smoking experience and an aerosol-generating article applied thereto are provided. The aerosol generation device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a housing which forms an accommodation space for accommodating an aerosol-generating article, and a heater part configured to heat the aerosol-generating article accommodated in the accommodation space to generate an aerosol. Here, the aerosol-generating article may include an aerosol-forming substrate part and an additive accommodation part in which an additive is accommodated, and the heater part may include a user control-type heater configured to heat the additive accommodation part. The user control-type heater may heat the additive accommodation part on the basis of a user input to provide a customized smoking experience according to a user's preferences.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An aerosol generation device comprising:
 a housing which forms an accommodation space for accommodating an aerosol-generating article; and   a heater part configured to heat the aerosol-generating article accommodated in the accommodation space to generate an aerosol,   wherein the aerosol-generating article includes an aerosol-forming substrate part, and an additive accommodation part in which an additive is accommodated, and   the heater part includes a heater configured to heat the aerosol-forming substrate part and a user control-type heater configured to heat the additive accommodation part while being controlled based on a user input.   
     
     
         2 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 1 , wherein the user input is received through a button arranged on an outer surface of the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 1 , wherein the additive is a flavoring agent. 
     
     
         4 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 3 , wherein the flavoring agent is a flavoring sheet produced in a form of a sheet. 
     
     
         5 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the flavoring agent is a flavoring sheet produced in a form of a sheet; and   the flavoring sheet is added in a cut form to the additive accommodation part.   
     
     
         6 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the flavoring agent is a flavoring sheet produced in a form of a sheet; and   the flavoring sheet is added in a rolled or folded form to the additive accommodation part.   
     
     
         7 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 1 , wherein the additive is a moisturizer. 
     
     
         8 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the additive accommodation part includes a first accommodation part and a second accommodation part; and   the user control-type heater includes a first heater configured to heat the first accommodation part and a second heater configured to heat the second accommodation part.   
     
     
         9 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 1 , wherein a heating strength of the user control-type heater is controlled based on the user input. 
     
     
         10 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the user control-type heater is an external heating type;   the additive is a flavoring agent; and   the flavoring agent is also added to a wrapper of the additive accommodation part.   
     
     
         11 . The aerosol generation device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the user control-type heater is an external heating type;   the additive is a flavoring agent; and   the flavoring agent is also added to a wrapper of a segment adjacent to the additive accommodation part.
